Long overdue update (#3) on my HeartGold grass monotype run, with 8 badges now. I really should do these updates more often so I won't forget as much...

Spoiler:

-Lake of Rage stuff with the Red Gyarados, and off to the Rocket hideout in Mahogany.
-I believe Cilantro evolved into Sunflora around this time.
-The Rocket hideout wasn't much of a problem, if I recall.
-Mahogany Gym. I was pretty worried coming in here. The battle with Pryce was kinda interesting, as we were both strong against each other. Anise (Jumpluff) knocked out his Seel, and his Dewgong avenged it. So I sent out Cilantro (Sunflora), who got revenge with Petal Dance. The move continued against his Piloswine, which brought it down to like 1 HP. I don't think I survived Piloswine's attack because of the damage taken from Dewgong already. Finally, I destroyed Piloswine with either Chicory (Meganium) or Ginger (Weepinbell). Can't remember. Good battle though, and we won the Glacier Badge from that. ^-^

-So the Radio Tower stuff is next, and we head for Goldenrod to do that.
-The Rival battle in the underground area wasn't exactly easy. His whole team was either strong against Grass and/or resistant, although Sneasel only used like Faint Attack or something. Quilava and Magnemite (Magneton?) were easily taken care of, and I think Haunter was a bit annoying. But his Golbat! Frustrating luck with Confuse Ray and stuff! I think only two of my pokémon survived.
-Archer was another scary battle. That Houndoom was at a higher level than my whole team, but Leech Seed and Synthesis are godsends. I think Reflect was helpful too.

-So with that done, we can finally travel to the Ice Path. On the way, I catch Sage (Tangela) and replace Clove (Parasect) with it, because I'll probably train a Parasect in FireRed anyways, and Tangrowth isn't available then. Also, the sun is bad for my Parasect's health. She's done good up to this point, so I definitely appreciate having her around though.
-Got through the Ice Path and made it to Blackthorn.
-Went through Dark Cave and beat all trainers on the mountain. This took lots of runs through the Ice Path, because I don't have a flyer. Good for training though, and Ice Path isn't too annoying.
-Got another Sun Stone from the Bug Catching Contest, and a Leaf Stone from Pokéathlon.
-Did some grinding and evolved Ginger into a Victreebel and Sage into a Tangrowth.
-Blackthorn Gym. I was so afraid coming into this gym, so that's why I did the grinding (also because of replacing Clove with Sage). Clair did cause problems, but not as much as I expected. She did switch her Gyarados out at one point, which took me by surprise. Also, her Thunder Waving Dragonair are really annoying, especially with Shed Skin. Kingdra was actually not much of a threat. I did lose four pokémon, but I only used five. Anise (Jumpluff) was definitely the MVP here; Leech Seed, Sleep Powder, U-turn, and the occasional Synthesis made her indestructible! :D And I was regretting teaching U-turn too... Leech Seed, as always, is a savior. Especially with Shed Skin running rampant.
-Clair, being a baby, made us go through the Dragon's Den stuff. So we did that and got the Rising Badge, making eight! Also had to teach Whirlpool to my HM slave, Slowpoke. And I found out that it can't learn Waterfall... Gonna need a different slave soon.
-Professor Elm called, so we go back and get the Master Ball. He tells us the Kimono Girls are waiting...

Hey guys, I don't have an update yet, but I have a question. How do I beat Brock without grinding, just with a Pikachu? I don't want to overgrind, because that defeats the purpose of doing a challenge. If someone could respond, it would be much appreciated. Bye! Oh, and I have no money.

P.S. How do I upload pictures? I tried with my Poison update but it just showed a little icon, not the picture. I know how to take a screen capture with the emulators, but I must be doing something wrong with uploading. Bye!

You have no choice but to grind, unfortunately. I did it in yellow and I don't remember what level I finally was at when I defeated Brock but it was well above level 15 (I think I won finally by spamming Slam, level 20). Pikachu's early moveset in yellow isn't much different than in whatever version you're using so there's no way to get around it, unless you get REALLY lucky and somehow pull off 10 critical hits in a row.

Just like Griffinbane said, you can't beat Brock without grinding, unless you get lucky with a bunch of critical hits.

As for the screenshots, you have to upload them to a image hosting site first, I use Imgur.com, then after uploading them to the website(like imgur), copy the image URL, paste it to your posting section, and put the [IMG][/IMG] tags around it.

I'm using a picture I used in a previous post as an example.

Here's how it should look if you do it right.

And here is the img url with the tags, take the *s at the ends out out.

Thank you for helping me with the pictures, I'll make sure to do that.

Thanks, I was also thinking I could spam Double Team at like level 15 or whatever, but your idea works too.

EDIT: Ok, so I tried the Double Team strategy, but Onix kept using Rock Tomb and it killed me. Remember, I only had one Potion. Anyone have any other ideas?

I beat Wake and saved, I have my full team, I always of use 2-4 Pokemon instead of a full team for HM slaves.

I am also changing Blue and Silver to LeafGreen and SoulSilver for my Water Mono, and Red and Gold to FireRed and HeartGold for my Grass Mono, I'm also not continuing my monotypes until I finish the event challenge.

I will be starting this challenge with Black version, since my copy is stagnating right now, and I can catch about half of my team before the second Gym. I should have my new computer in a couple of weeks, but I will try to get an update done on the initial post from my mom's computer.

Location: A house in a city in a state on this planet in this universe.

Gender:
Male

Nature: Lonely

I apologize for the lack of anything really. I kinda starting losing time to do this in. Really, the only things that have happened are me getting the starter,Twiggy, beating my rival twice, catching an Abra and naming it 'Magic', as per my tradition. I am now level grinding, but haven't even gotten a badge yet. But yeah, I AM still doing this, mind you. I also realize Platnium was like the worst game of the three to choose, because giratina is part Ghost....oh well, too late now. besides, it gives me a challenge.

No need to apologize. These things are all go at your own pace, and plenty of people take very long amounts of time to finish. Just look at me! I started lg with bugs in august and only finished last month!

Also, diamond would probably be the worst of the three, not platinum. Dat steel type. >.<

It took me 2 years to get through Kanto & Johto before I restarted and beat all of them within a year. It can really take a while depending on your pace.

Also, I beat Jasmine, but I'm not updating simply because I lack time. Once I own a new game (in this case, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm) I play it for 3 days or until I beat the main story than usually fade off playing it, so I'm playing it constantly for 3 days right now.

Trading is only allowed for pokemon that are in your region's dex but unavailable in your game. As horsea is available in the game without trading, this would still not be allowed. Kind of a weird gray area, I know, but my rules are pretty specific about trading.

I have another update, I'll be playing them completely randomly, like I'll play little of one game, and then a little of another.

I haven't continued on Diamond, but I started LG and SS.
I'm too lazy to put pics right now, but I'll put some up on the next update.

On SoulSilver, so far I've gotten to Olivine City with 4 badges, and saved before continuing to Route 40 next member will be caught on Route 41(Chinchou).
